This three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage on West Drive Gardens is a budget-friendly, chain-free home suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking immediate occupancy. The house offers a practical layout with lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a family bathroom, plus an extensive rear garden with deck and side gated access. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing.
The plot is a standout: an unusually large rear garden for the street with potential to improve outdoor living or add parking to the front (subject to permissions). Internal fixtures are generally modern — fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and contemporary bathroom — so the house is largely habitable while offering scope for cosmetic updates to increase value.
There are some material factors to note. The property is small overall (approximately 646 sq ft) with a single bathroom and compact bedrooms. The solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some buyers.
Location works for commuters and families: Soham offers primary and secondary schooling options and rail links to Ely and Cambridge. For a buyer wanting an affordable entry into the market with outdoor space and room to add value, this property presents clear potential — but plan for energy upgrades and be aware of the neighbourhood context.
